Personally, I prefer tan suits to brownshirts.

He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
Who voted for war with Venezuela?
here's today's post: "suck-ups and flunkies agree: Dear Leader is the bestest fuckwit ever" — scenes from a batshit cabinet meeting. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —
National Guard Refuses to Go to Chicago, Citing Bone Spurs
It's a Catch-22 at immigration courts across the country. “If they don’t show up, they’ll be deported. If they do show up, ICE is going to take them away,” says @deanobeidallah.bsky.social. @bradlander.bsky.social says, “They are abiding by the law, and it’s our government that’s breaking it.”
Propaganda factory PragerU spent $650,000 on a gala at Mar-A-Lago. Soon after, Trump called for PBS's funding to be slashed. PragerU sees programs like Sesame Street as interfering with its ability to indoctrinate children with fictional history and rubbish takes like "slavery was no big deal."
Mockler: They say that they oppose it at a 79% rate, 61% of them feel less safe… So the question that I then want to ask is, why don't we mobilize the National Guard to the eight out of ten red states that are the highest homicide states?
The GOP is causing all of this chaos just so everyone will stop talking about the Epstein files. Never stop asking where the files are and why they're covering it up.
It's a pity he ever got out.
Looks like a justification for war... (Do you think this was discussed last Friday in Alaska?)
NEWS: Russia bombed the factory of an American company in Ukraine, Flex Ltd., with cruise missiles overnight in one of the largest aerial attacks of the war. (The Telegraph)
He's getting under ALL their skins. Good.
Those Yt Repug males in Texas sure are a-scaired of black women. I guess one thing that's NOT bigger in Texas is balls.
Trump federalized the D.C. police, brought in the National Guard, and unleashed 400 FBI agents—yet arrested about the same number of people per day as last year in Washington, D.C. That’s not success. That’s politics. And it’s a waste of everyone’s time. Clip from my NewsNation appearance...
Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows exposed his fascist streak again. He’s literally locking the doors of the House until HB4 passes—treating Democrats like prisoners and children. A dictator and a babysitter, handing out “permission slips” to leave the chamber. WTF is this Texas or a police state?
She's nothing but an unashamed attention whore.
Of course something is rotten. And it's sitting in the Oval Office.
Something is rotten. LVPD, FBI, DHS, & NV AG caught 8 child sex predators—including Israeli citizen Tom Alexandrovich—who works for Netanyahu. But despite being charged, Alexandrovich returned to Israel. Now Netanyahu’s office claims he was never arrested at all www.qasimrashid.com/p/netanyahu-...
"Remember your oath." Please listen to what this vet is saying. Share this. If you are a Guardsman in DC right now, you don't need to obey orders. Unlawful orders. Ask yourself. Are you willing to "attack" Americans citizens who are legally protesting if you are given that order?
Controversial opinion: When it comes to US presidents, "blatantly breaking laws and violently violating people's rights" is a bigger deal than "is old," meriting greater public concern and a higher percentage of attention.
Multiple National Guard vehicles at the Lincoln Memorial which is not a problem area for crime
Donold used the higher crime numbers from 2023 to justify his takeover of D.C., and soon he'll use lower ones from early January this year to "prove" it worked.
A message for the most “transparent Administration” in history: Release the Epstein files.
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "Wake the fuck up to what's going on in this country... We're going to put everything on the damn line... People haven't given up yet. We're going to do this. We can win this November. We can win next November, and then we can get this country back on track."
Democratic Governors, you have to play hardball. Red states can't function without your economies. They clearly want to F around. It's find out time.
Trump - 34 Felony Convictions 91 Criminal Charges 4 Indictments 2 Impeachments 400+X Plead The 5th 26 SA Allegations 5 Bankruptcies 5 Draft Deferments $25 million Trump University Fraud $2 million Fake Charity Judgment $5 million SA Verdict $93 million Abuse Judgments $400 million+ Fraud Judgment
Every Democratic member of Congress should be in the streets of DC saying this dangerous authoritarian escalation must stop. Do they not grasp what’s going on here?
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This guy is trying to get a Nobel Peace Prize? When he's bringing war to the American people? He sent the United States Marines into the United States of America."
Not only did federal goons show up to try and intimidate our governor, they did so on hallowed ground. Gov. Newsom was speaking at the Democracy Center at the Japanese American National Museum, which I helped found so we do not repeat the horrors and injustices of the past. Shameful.
Notification about the Kennedy Center Honors:
So hang on…. Trump is going to offer to open up FUKKIN ALASKA TO THE RUSSIANS?? Wow. Let’s see republicans defend this
The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
The woman petitioning SCOTUS to overturn marriage equality in the name of the sanctity of marriage is on her fourth husband.
SPLENDID PARODY OF THE PEDO-IN-CHIEF'S MORONICALLY DERANGED STYLE OF POSTING, DESPITE THE MISSED OPPORTUNITY OF REFERRING TO HIM AS DONALD CHUMP, GOVERNOR NEWSCUM. 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I know I shouldn't comment on someone's appearance, but she looks as if she's been hit in the face with a bag of nickels.
"allegedly" beaten up.
Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…
The question wasn't, "Will you set red lines?" It was "Is there a red line". She's sleazy.
He should stay away from the White House, then.
The Trump administration announced that the United States will not support a voluntary global plan aimed at sharply cutting greenhouse gas emissions from the shipping sector by 2050.
I missed the part where blowing hundreds of millions in taxpayer money on gaudy, unnecessary White House upgrades counts as “cutting waste, fraud, and abuse.” Or did we just drop that whole narrative?
Where are the hard-working Americans who screamed, “They’re stealing our jobs”? You’re getting your wish. Immigrant workers aren’t showing up, and farm owners are hiring.
He had to make his nut.
That show closed on opening night.
Easier for Trump to flee to Russia.
OK, spitballin' time: Pig meets with Vlad in Alaska (?!?) this week, bails across the Bering Strait, abdicates from Moscow. "Just Donuts" Vance takes over, nominates Russell Vought as VP. The already compromised Republican Congress OKs the nom, and then Project 2025 REALLY kicks in. Your thoughts?
They're meeting in Alaska. Pig can the hop across the Bering Strait the abdicate from Moscow. Vance takes over. Just spitballin' here.
“Remember this, they’re not arresting us to take us to jail. They’re arresting us to take us back to the House floor to vote on maps that benefit them. If that’s not fascism, I don’t know what is.” ~Texas Rep Diego Bernal #StopTheTexasSteal #StandWithTexasDems #TexasResistance
What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority? ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles /
Is that a trick question?
An innocent President would simply release the Epstein Files and demand a full FBI investigation into every Epstein client. That’s it. That’s the whole ballgame summed up.
I thought they solved the Epstein case.
Congratulations, sir! Appearing on South Park is an honor, indeed. Not only have you "finally made it", you had the best line of dialogue in the show. Good luck with your love of furniture and your continuing EPSTEIN Cover-Up, Mar🐫
Texas Democrats? Full manhunt. Epstein list? Witness protection.
It’s not really necessary to mock Kristi Noem since South Park has already done such a good job of it, but here’s the actual anti-drug slogan she approved when she was Governor of South Dakota
Step 1: Send ICE into blue states to arrest people. Send them to prison camps in red states. Step 2: Arrest very few people in red states. Step 3: Create a new unconstitutional census using magic math showing fewer people in blue states and more people in red states.
Odd, how South Park is covering Kristi Noem and her ICE hooligans more accurately than The New York Times.
Note to Kristi Noem: It is far better to be mocked in a cartoon for how you look than to be shoved into the back of a U-Haul and kidnapped for how you look.
Charles Stross, "The Atrocity Archives".
Maybe he could put a good word in for Scott Baio and Kevin Sorbo. They could use the work.
It's not as if producers are knocking down Dean's door. He's gotta make his nut somehow.
Who wants a burger?
A mid-decade census dictated by a losing candidate is not governance—it’s gerrymandering at a national scale. Weaponizing population data to erase communities is authoritarianism in slow motion. This isn’t policy; it’s the prelude to engineered MAGA rule. The stakes couldn’t be clearer.
Trump working so much harder on manipulating and cheating to stay in power than on anything benefitting the American people.
The next part of the plan to steal the midterms and/or the 2028 election - an attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states. I knew this was coming.
We too often feel helpless and hopeless. That’s what they want, they thrive in chaos. But here is a reminder: 250 years of America, and our generation will not be the one that fails her. Period. And in the rear view, it will seem worth it. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/video-remi...
BREAKING: Convicted sex trafficker who taught young girls how to blow old men says sole person on earth who can pardon her did nothing wrong.
Not canceled - just moved to a pizzeria basement.
RFK Jr has been a liar for as long as I can remember.
Dems should fight on every front. If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts. We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File. Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

ILLINOIS GOV. J.B. PRITZKER (D): "If they're gonna cheat, then all of us have to take a hard look at what the effect of that cheating is on democracy . And that means we've all got to stand up and do the right thing. So as far as I'm concerned, everything is on the table."
Jessica: I also heard no complaints when Mike Johnson decided to abdicate his job to say actually congress isn't in session anymore because I don't want to have to vote on turning over the Epstein files…. so be equal opportunity in your complaints about fleeing your job
weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him
Greg Abbott is trying to cheat his way to 2026. @jbpritzker.bsky.social and I break down why everyone should care about what’s going on in Texas.
I have been the subject of many spurious accusations and politically motivated attacks, but this one is in a class by itself. According to Tulsi Gabbard — the nation’s top intelligence official — my refusal to post on Twitter is being reviewed by the Department of Justice as evidence of wrongdoing.
He was handed the absolute strongest post-Covid economy in the industrialized world. And he’s singlehandedly fucked it up. And eventually even many of his most diehard voters will realize it. And it’ll be a painful realization for them.
